I just copied some jpg pictures to /var/tmp, opened the first with EoG and deleted them one by one using the DEL key.
After this all files were visible in the trash from where I could restore them. Closing the bug report but feel free to reopen if you still see a problem in Ubuntu 15.10 or 16.04 (development). ** Changed in: eog (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/908409 Title: eog cannot delete files outside of the home partition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/908409/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
